    I'm currently fixing that, and came across a lil' problem.

    Basically, when you choose #3 on the main menu after the r > n error check (after it displays), the menu shows back up, and then you have to choose #3 again. Here's my new code
    (at time of posting):

    PHP Code:
    #include "includes.h"

    int pc;        // Used for the choice between permutation, combination, or quiting
    int n2;        // n part of nCr and/or nPr
    int r2;        // r part of nCr and/or nPr
    int ans;    // The answer of permutations or combinations

    unsigned long factunsigned long n );

    unsigned long factunsigned long n )
    {
        if( 
    == ) return 1;
        else if( 
    <= ) return n;
        else return 
    fact(n-1);
    }

    void s_p()
    {
        
    system("cls");
        
    cout << " nPr = n! / (n-r)!\n";    // Formula definition
        
    cout << " n = ";                // N value
        
    cin  >> n2;                        // "  " input
        
    cout << " r = ";                // R value
        
    cin  >> r2;                        // "  " input
        
        
    if(r2 n2)
        {
            
    cout << "\n\n" << r2 << " > " << n2 << " doesn't factor out correctly!\n\n";
            
    cout << "1) Go back to beginning\n"
                    " >> "
    ;
            
    cin  >> ans;
            if (
    ans 1) { system("cls"); begin(); }
            if (
    ans != 1) { system("PAUSE"); }
        }

        
    begin();

        if(
    r2 <= n2)
        {
            
    permutation(fact(n2), fact(n2-r2));    // Figures the permutation
        
    }
    }

    void s_c()
    {
        
    system("cls");
        
    cout << " nCr = n! / (n-r)!r!\n";
        
    cout << " n = ";
        
    cin  >> n2;
        
    cout << " r = ";
        
    cin  >> r2;

        if(
    r2 n2)
        {
            
    cout << "\n\n" << r2 << " > " << n2 << " doesn't factor out correctly!\n\n";
            
    cout << "1) Go back to beginning\n"
                    " >> "
    ;
            
    cin  >> ans;
            if (
    ans 1) { system("cls"); begin(); }
            if (
    ans != 1) { system("PAUSE"); }
        }

        if(
    r2 <= n2)
        {
            
    combination(fact(n2), fact(n2-r2));
        }
    }

    void permutation(int nint r)
    {
        
    ans r;
        
    cout << "\n\n" << ans << "\n\n";
        
    system("PAUSE");
        
    begin();
    }

    void combination(int nint r)
    {
        
    ans / (fact(r2));
        
    cout << "\n\n" << ans << "\n\n";
        
    system("PAUSE");
        
    begin();
    }

    void begin()
    {
        
    Start:
        
    cout << " Permutation (1)\n"
                " Combination (2)\n"
                " Exit        (3)\n\n"
    ;
        
    cout << " "
        
    cin  >> pc;

        switch(
    pc)
        {
        case 
    1:
            
    s_p();
            break;

        case 
    2:
            
    s_c();
            break;

        case 
    3:
            
    system("PAUSE");
            break;

        default:
            
    cout << "\n" << pc << " is not a valid choice!  Please choose another!\n\n";
            
    system("PAUSE");
            
    system("cls");
            goto 
    Start;
            break;
        }

    I didn't change anything else.

    completely OT, but I like the colored code. What are you using to do that?

    OT means???

    I'm pressuming you mean the stuff I posted above? I'm using the [ php ] (w/o spaces) and [ /php ] (also w/o spaces). It's VB stuff.

    OT means off topic. So if you use the PHP tags for your code, it colors it? Or are you inserting a tag for each color?
    Away.

    Ok, quick question, how is it exactly off-topic?

    Right, it colors it. Just using the PHP tags.

    It's off the topic of permutations

    This thread will probably break the rules soon because of the "conversation", but I don't see how asking about fixing some code for calculating permutations / combinations is OT from permutations.....

    P.S. PM, IM, or E-mail me if you wish to continue this conversation.
